How to make Spider Silk Thread

Step 7 Wind onto spool

I had many many empty spools around, because my grandmother was an obsessive seamstress who had a house full (truly FULL) of sewing materials. If you don't have a spool, winding the thread around a piece of cardboard, or even a folded piece of paper will work as well.

As you can see, I have very little thread from this whole process. The reason for making spider silk thread is not for making a lot of thread, but is instead for having thread out of making the strongest, stretchiest material on earth.

Your seams could be stronger than the fabric itself!
